Things I love/am passionate about...







I have to start with my family - John and my two daughters, Bella (10) and Maddy (8).
My favourite time of day is when the four of us sit down for dinner and share our stories.
My girls are funny, cuddly, silly and I love spending time with them. They make me laugh every day and when things get crazy and busy, spending some down time with them is just what I need. My husband, John, is my best friend. I am fortunate that he supports me in everything I do.

I love to run! I started running a few years ago when a friend asked me to join her in a learn to run clinic. I thought I would hate it, but it has become something I truly enjoy. Unfortunately, I don't get out as often as I like, especially during the winter months. I have run the TC 10K twice and my goal is to run it again this year. I have also completed two off road half marathons. I love running out on the trails and there are many of them here in the Courtenay area. Seal Bay and the Comox Dam area are two of my favourite places to run.
I often run with a group from Equilibrium Lifestyle Management and they have a great guide to local trails.
I also love to run, and have found this site a great resource for different trails and running routes -
http://www.openstreetmap.org/ Its set up very similar to a wiki, with lots of user generated content. Thanks for sharing!

Life Online
I am fortunate to be able to work at something I truly enjoy! When I started teaching, I never would have envisioned myself as a DL teacher. Now, I couldn't imagine doing anything else. The best part about my job is that I get to truly know the students and their families - we all work together as a team. Navigate has started some innovative programs in the last few years that I feel lucky to be a part of. I also enjoy being able to contribute to the community through such things as Facebook workshops for parents.
